Review of Alfie (2004) by Steve W — 21 May 2011
Star vehicle for the hot-and-smoldering-at-the-time Jude Law. "Alfie" is of course, a remake of the 60's movie starring Mchael Caine (who was just starting out). Doesn't really hold a candle to it, since the topics and sensibilities towards women have certainly changed, but Law and Company have a go at it, and it's pretty good, entertaining even.
Jude Law certainly does have the acting chops, but Alfie does get tiring after awhile, with Alfie just riding to one girl adventure after another, learning about life along the way. The ending is a bit unsatisfactory though.
Is Alfie happy? I thought he was learning about life and wanting to settle down. Oh well, that's Alfie for you I guess.
